My Review of Faith 21 Clothing
I took some time out today to actually play dress up and try on clothing from the plus-size line of Forever 21’s store called Faith 21. I know I’m usually ranting about how I love everything I blog on but I finally found a label that I can say that there is nothing “faithful” about. I could kinda tell from looking online that the clothes were “cheaply” made and I was right. It seems like every skirt is a mini and doesn’t have enough material in it. This line is definately catered to the “junior” or younger plus size crowd. The prices are very inexpensive so I guess you get what you pay for. I tried on a few pieces and although I will say that their clothes are really cute, everything fits really tight or had ill-fitting material in it. That’s why I always tell clients to try clothes on no matter what size you “think” you may wear. I can usually fit a size 2X/3X at any other store but in Faith 21 they would have to go up to a 5X in order for the clothing to fit me comfortably. I think that their plus size line is made for curvy women who are on the smaller plus-size side like a size 14-16. Now I know alot of you ladies have hangups about “label sizes” but you have to “always” go by fit not numbers. You would really have to wear a foundation with some of these pieces that I tried on. Now granted I did buy a studded vest from them when the store first opened here in Richmond months ago but that doesn’t have any buttons or anything on it so it fit pretty well. Overall I will just wait and see if they improve on the quality of their clothing because as of right now, I don’t have alot of “faith” in Faith 21 clothing 😦
Sequin mini-skirt & Teal blouse $25 each (This skirt is really cute but just a tad too short and skimpy for me; The shirt is gorgeous in the back but once again needs to be a little larger)
Grey mini-skirt $9.80
Grey strapless dress $22.80
Above dress is around $25 ( I did really like this one but left it in store because I woulda liked it a tad bit larger)
OMGoosh you have 2 be my new FAVORITE BLOGGER! I simply typed in “how does faith21 clothing fit” and you were the second link I received on my page. A little background story. I actually just got hip to Faith21 by playing around online. I immediately got excited about their clothing because of the beautiful colors, cut-outs, desings, and lastly the cheap prices! I had saved several tops to my computer favorites. Today I had the urge to go online and check out their sizing chart. I saw the measurements for the dimensions of one’s body and I immediately was disappointed. When I saw the was measurement of a 40, I said “Oh no, I wouldn’t even be able to ATTEMPT to SQUEEZE into their clothing!” I’m so super disappointed because visually I was really feeling their items. I am so glad I researched this and that I found you in my serach.
I wanted to say YOU ARE SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL and I as soon as I stop typing I’m going to make an evening of getting acquainted with your blog!!! Thank you so much for speaking the truth. By the way…. I actually think their pieces look AWESOME ON YOU…. I MEAN YOU MAKE THEM LOOK GREAT. But like the above comment I do understand what you mean- I myself have to be comfortable and able to move along with being fashionable!!! When you’re uncomfortable and trying to make something work it SHOWS THROUGH ALL THE TIME! But honestly, YOU LOOK GREAT!!! (garment control or not!)
you look great in the clothes but totally know what you mean about it being cheaply made and runs small. i like forever 21s accessories bcos you can stock up on a lot and not break the bank lol but the clothes has been more miss than hit
